This story is so heartbreaking. He was a lonely man who just needed companionship. His timberlands could have been sustainable for decades. Such a waste.
Keach, Robert Stack, Broderick Crawford, all great voices
I looooove Stacy's voice. There's something so nice about it. I wish he was the voice behind more docu shows!
This episode made more questions than it did answers. On what visas did the Chinese investors get into USA? How come the Tibetan wasn’t deported after his jail sentence? Who funded the Farmers Market and the 41 story building after it all went bust?
Let's hold ourselves accountable for our own actions for once
Too bad this Jersey scumbag didn't get sentenced to more prison time.
Greedy bitch. Ugly too.
These people shouldn't be idolized or memorialized in film. He hurt so many people. White collar crime should be taken more seriously.
Every last one of those families deserve what the F they got for being in a stupid ass cult.
Good content. No one tells a story like Keach, the Dateline guy doesn't come close.
Can’t wait!
So, isn't it European Greed?!

Is she honestly going to keep saying "private parts" on a professional news show made for adults and while discussing a topic such as sexual health which is aimed at adults? It sounds ridiculous. You'd think she was talking to 5 year olds or something. Just use proper terms! I love that he chimes in at one point after she says "private parts" agsin and says "an erect penis." She gets all flustered 😂
I love this show! There's really not many podcasts out there about white collar crime.
I love this show but haven't had cable for several years. This podcast is just like the TV show. I love it!
omg this is just like that plot line in the resident lol
one of the best white collar crime tv shows.
